<div itemprop="description">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Albert. He was predeceased by his father Wai Hong ( Hank ) Chow in 2004. Lovingly remembered by his mother Kam Chui (Kim ) Chow; his daughter Trinity; his four siblings; Wanda ( Chuck ) Chow-Lindberg;<br /><br />Anda Chow; Roland ( Corinne ) Chow; Linda Chow. His nieces and nephews Thomas Chow, Kristen Lindberg, Garrett Chow ( Charis ) , Jonathon Chow, Kascia Chow, and Cameron Chow. Also lovingly remembered by many, many other relatives and friends.<br /><br />Albert was born and raise in the Cowichan Valley on May 1st, 1964 &ndash; the year of the Dragon - where he worked at the family store and graduated from high school. He travelled and worked at various jobs before settling back in the Cowichan Valley and eventually became the head chef at Kim Wah's ( the family restaurant ). After Kim Wah's he worked at various jobs and eventually got a position as a chef at the Sunridge Senior Complex on Bundock St. where he was employed up to his passing. He was also the proprietor of the Time Tunnel on York St. in Duncan &ndash; a video arcade and pool hall. This was a perfect match for his outgoing personality and it was there that he found his passion for billiards and became a self- taught cue maker. On Nov.19th, 2000 he became a father...his daughter Trinity was born - the light in his life.<br /><br />Albert loved to sing and could belt out tunes from all ranges of the rock music spectrum &ndash; from Bobby Darrin's Beyond the Sea to Billy Idols White Wedding. He loved to cook and spent time with Family and Friends. He was generous to a fault and had a great sense of humour, and oh so quick to make friends...he saw the best in everyone. As a teen he was deeply involved in sports &ndash; participating in rugby, volleyball, track...just to name a few. As a young man he got heavily into cycling and worked in bike shops in Duncan and Vancouver.<br /><br />Albert will be sorely missed by his Family and friends. He has left a legacy of laughter and will never be forgotten.<br /><br />The Family of Albert would like to thank all the professionals who have helped them during this trying time. Many thanks to other Family members and Friends for all their thoughts and support.<br /><br />A viewing for Family and Friends will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel at 187 Trunk Rd., Duncan, B.C. on Friday June 28th, 2013 from 4pm to 7 pm. All are welcome.<br /><br />A Celebration of Life will be held at the Cowichan Community Centre Gymnasium, 2687 James St., Duncan, B.C. on Saturday July 6th from 1pm to 4pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Trust for Trinity Chow at the CIBC Branch in Duncan</div>
